Malouf Foundation

The SAFE Symposium was a huge success! Thank you to all the speakers and community members who participated in these important discussions. Let’s continue the momentum!

🎉Milestone achieved! We’ve officially educated individuals in all 50 states on the signs of sex trafficking through our free OnWatch training! Since launching in 2020, we’ve been blown away by the positive impact. Communities are more engaged than ever, ready to take a stand against sex trafficking—and you can be a part of it! OnWatch teaches you to spot, report, and prevent sex trafficking where you live, work, and play. What makes it unique? The training is survivor-led and informed, meaning you hear the stories of true survivor experiences. If you’ve completed the OnWatch training before but it’s been a while, consider taking a refresher. And if you haven’t taken it yet, now is the perfect time to start learning about this crucial issue. Visit IAmOnWatch.org to start the free training. #IAmOnWatch #FreeTraining #EndHumanTrafficking

We want every survivor to feel empowered in their healing journey. See the impact of our Rooms Restored program! 👇

A couple of months ago, we announced an exciting internship partnership with Bridgerland Technical College and BTECH Interior Design for our Rooms Restored program! 🎉 Since then, we’ve welcomed two amazing interns from Bridgerland Tech and one from Utah State University, and they’ve made a huge impact by helping us facilitate bedroom makeovers for children who have endured sexual abuse. Here’s what they have to say about working with Rooms Restored and the Malouf Foundation! ✨ Lydia "Creating spaces for healing has changed my perspective on what it means to be a designer. Healing starts from within and it’s been humbling to be a part of the beginning of an individual’s journey on that path." Rebekah "I love working with the people involved in this program and using my education for something good. It's inspiring to see people so determined and motivated to make a difference in people's lives."    Marisa  "My favorite part of working with Rooms Restored is being able to help kids and give back to people so they are reminded that there is still good in this world."

We are one week out from the 3rd annual SAFE Symposium on October 22! Join other community advocates from across Utah for meaningful discussions around what we can collectively change to protect our children from sexual abuse and its impacts.

Yesterday, we unloaded over 300 Hope Lamps from CIANA Lighting! These beautiful lamps will be used for individual room restorations through Rooms Restored. Every survivor supported by Rooms Restored will receive a Hope Lamp as a symbol of their strength and resilience. Thank you to Ciana Lighting for their ongoing support—we’re excited to put these lamps to use! You can also purchase your own Hope Lamp here: https://lnkd.in/gA94w-ce.

Navigating conversations about sex and sexual abuse with your child can feel daunting, but it’s beneficial for their safety and well-being. Begin by creating an open environment where your child feels safe to ask questions. Share age-appropriate information and remember, you are their primary source of information and trust. Communicate early and often, and admit when you are wrong or were not your best self, so the child feels safe to confide in you. By doing so, you can help reduce the risk of child sexual abuse and foster a strong, consistent pattern of communication that will help your child be prepared for the coming school year. You can learn more about how to improve your communication with your child at https://lnkd.in/dNnMeYn5 #Saprea #BacktoSchool #BreaktheSilence #Prevention 

Utah continues to make strides in the fight against child sexual abuse with the passing of SB 205. 🙌 This new legislation is a major step forward in protecting our kids and bringing important discussions to schools and homes.
